EA's sights are set on the Nintendo Switch 2, as confirmed by CEO Andrew Wilson during a recent financial call. He indicated plans to bring many of EA's popular titles to the new console. Specifically, Wilson highlighted the potential for EA's lucrative sports franchises, *Madden* and *EA SPORTS FC*, to thrive on the Switch 2, predicting they'll find "real energy" on the platform. He also mentioned *The Sims* as a strong contender, citing the success of *My Sims* which saw 50% of players being new to EA, demonstrating significant untapped potential.
Wilson emphasized the Switch 2's ability to attract new players, echoing EA's positive past experiences with Nintendo platforms. While no concrete plans were revealed, his comments strongly suggest a commitment to bringing EA's popular IPs to the new console.
AnswerSee ResultsWhile the prospect of *Madden* and *EA SPORTS FC* on the Switch 2 isn't surprising, the question of game versions arises. EA's history of releasing "legacy" versions of *FIFA* on the original Switch prompts speculation. However, with the Switch 2's increased power, *EA SPORTS FC 26*, for example, might offer closer feature parity with its PlayStation, Xbox, and PC counterparts.
The Switch 2 announcement fuels anticipation for its game lineup. Rumors abound regarding numerous third-party titles. Firaxis, developers of *Civilization 7*, expressed interest in the Switch 2's reported Joy-Con mouse mode. Nacon, publisher of titles like *Greedfall 2* and *RoboCop: Rogue City*, confirmed its readiness with Switch 2 games. Highly anticipated titles like *Hollow Knight: Silksong* are also rumored for the console. Meanwhile, Nintendo is developing a new *Mario Kart*, with further details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
